How would you re-envision Darksun with 4e?

[QUOTE="evildmguy, post: 4196348, member: 6092"] Now that we all know more about 4E, and my group might do a Dark Sun campaign, I am looking at this again. I am also hoping the rumors of WotC doing Dark Sun are true. In terms of story, I would personally go back to the main boxed set, with no free cities. As I said, I think it would be possible to have a campaign with the Sorcerer Kings as rulers of the city, with the players either working for or against them. Perhaps even crossing over one way or another between those views. In terms of mechanics, though, I think 4E offers much better potential. I think it would give some very good guidance in terms of when the characters are ready to take down the dragon, a SK or start their own city. Essentially, it would be at the Epic level and it would have to be something the group agrees to do. Otherwise, the story or adventures could stop at the high level Paragon tier, and not progress further. It's too bad that psionics won't be readily available. I also don't know how to handle defiling but maybe once 4E is actually released, that might be apparent. Of course, the other problem comes from the other power sources. Can the martial power source be defiling? Again, perhaps once the rules are released, it will be obvious what to do. Has anyone else thought about Dark Sun as more rules are being revealed? Any more ideas? Thanks! edg [/QUOTE]
